Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and heat another 30 seconds. Add the eggplant and salt and cook, stirring often, until the eggplant is golden brown and soft, about 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the marinera, basil and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan.
- Lay one sheet of phyllo on a cutting board. Brush it gently with some of the remaining oil. Lay another sheet on top of that sheet and brush with oil. Do this 2 more times until you have 4 layers of phyllo, finishing the top layer with oil. Cut the sheet into 12 squares. Press one square (with all 4 phyllo layers) oil-side down into each cup of a 24-cup metal mini muffin tin. Repeat with the remaining phyllo.
- Divide the eggplant mixture among the cups, about 1 teaspoon per cup. Divide the mozzarella over the top of the bites. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Bake on the lower rack until golden brown and bubbly, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

A bite-size version of one of my favorite entrees. It's eggplant Parmesan you can eat while standing up! Serve warm or room temperature.

- Mix remaining 1 teaspoon salt with ricotta cheese in a bowl. Spoon ricotta cheese mixture onto each eggplant.

Steps:
- Slice the eggplant and lay out on a paper towel lined baking sheet.
- Generously salt the eggplant on both sides and leave to sit for 30 minutes to soften and draw out excess moisture.
- Blot off the water and excess salt from the eggplant with additional paper towels.
- In a medium mixing bowl add the basil, ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, and one egg (beaten). Mix together.
- Picking two equal sized eggplant slices, sandwich about a tablespoon of the ricotta mixture between the slices and place on a wax paper lined baking tray.
- Freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- In three separate bowls, place the flour, bread crumbs, and the remaining 3 eggs, beaten.
- Remove eggplant from the freezer and coat each first in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs. Coat once more in egg and a final time in the bread crumbs. Place back in the freezer while you prepare to fry.
- In a large saucepan, heat oil to 350˚F (180˚C). Fry eggplant in batches, 3 at a time, until nicely browned on all sides.
- Remove and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain off any excess oil. Sprinkle with salt. Serve with marinara sauce.
- Enjoy!

- Preheat oven to 350°. Cover a mini cupcake pan with aluminum foil, pressing down to create very shallow indentations over every cup. This will help balance the eggplant to prevent the toppings from sliding off the top as they bake. Set aside.
- Wash and cut off the top of the Indian eggplants. Then cut in half lengthwise. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a large pan, heat olive oil and sautee eggplants for 3 minutes on each side in medium to high heat. Change heat to low and cover pan to allow eggplants to cook through for 15 minutes.
- While the eggplant is cooking covered on low heat, mince the basil and parmesan cheese. Mix into the ricotta. Refrigerate. Slice tomatoes into 12 slices. Set aside.
